Question

Praveena and Dhanya are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 7 : 3. They admit Malini into the firm. The new ratio among Praveena, Dhanya and Malini are 5 : 2 : 3. Calculate the sacrificing ratio.

Answer 1

Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

Praveena = `7/10 - 5/10 = 2/10`

Dhanya = `3/10 - 2/10 = 1/10`

Sacrificing Ratio = 2 : 1
